KINEMATOGRAPHIC APPARATUS.

Specification of Application filed May 28,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARCADE MALLET, a citizen of the Republic of France, and a resident of 15" Rue Canchois,Paris;, France, have invented a new and, useful Improvement in Kinematographic Apparatus, of which the following-is a specification.

The present invention relates to improve ments in 'kinematographic apparatus and has for its object to prevent as far as possible the scintillations on the projections without diminishing the facility with which the projection may be centered on the screen.

Another object is to increase the amount of light in the projected'picture.

My invention will be readily understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is a side View partly in elevation and partlyin section. Fig. 2 is a View in front elevation.

It is well known that in an apparatus of this kind, the objective l .01? the projector must be displaced vertically and horizontally for which purpose, said projector is mounted on a sliding part 2 suitably actuated by means of the pinion 5 meshing with the rack 6', which is secured to the sliding part 2.

carrying out the objects bf this inventionfi'a disk 4 adapted to rotate at a speed corresponding to that at which the film unrolls is interposed between the film and the screen upon which the image is to be. projected.

As is well known, the film is movedwith an intermittent or irregular movement, that is to say very rapid for passingfrom one view to another, with a slight pause as each view passes in front of the ob ective.

According to the present invention, the imageis centered on the screen without changing the position of disk 4 in respect to thescreen.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, a guide 9 is'rigidly secured to the plate 2' which bears the-objective 1 while at the outer end of said guide 9, depends a bracket 20 in which a pintle 13 is rotatably mounted. Fastened to said pintle 13 is the disk 4 which is thus rotatably mounted between the objective and the screen while it is' at the same time subject to the horizontal and vertical adjustments of .the objective.

joint 14=to a member 12 sliding upon another member. 10 whose extremity is keyed to a part 21 which by means of another Cardan joint 15 is connected to the governing shaft 16 which is in turn driven by the gears 17 and 18.

It will thus be seen thatthe objective 1 can be displaced in the manner required for centering the projection while at the same time a constant relation between the obje'ctive 1 and the rotary shutter or disk 4 is maintained.

While the apparatus scribed, has' been adapted to existing Ina- -chines, it is evident that many minor modifications' could be made in the apparatus without departing from the spirit of my invention. I
